As Nokia's first 3G-enabled handset, the 6280 is now shipping across Europe sporting features including a 2 Megapixel camera, audio player and high-resolution screen.
Introduced earlier this year alongside handsets such as the lesser-capable 6270 slider and the similarly sliding 6111, Nokia today confirmed to infoSync World that the handset maker has initiated shipments of its highest-end slider to date, the 6280. The 6280 includes an array of features more commonly found in the Finnish maker's smartphones such as a dual camera setup for video calls and a high resolution screen.
A tri-band GSM handset with support for GPRS/EDGE and 3G, the 6280 is equipped with the first 262K colour screen in a Nokia handset to feature a QVGA resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The handset will run on the 3rd edition of Nokia's Series 40 platform, which features improved graphics and functionality over predecessors such as the fashionable 8800 and business-oriented 6230i.
Another first in the 6280 is its integration of dual camera, which was previously only available in the Nokia 6680 smartphone. A back-mounted 2 Megapixel camera is used in conjunction with a front-mounted 0.3 MP camera to allow for rapid switching between views, with the 6280 also offering in-call initiation of video sharing should users want to start sharing video mid-call. Also, the 6280 offers a full-screen landscape mode for use when shooting stills or recording video, as well as a LED flash with a range of up to 1.5 meters.
Offering up to 74 MB of user available memory, the 6280 includes the full compliment of Nokia's messaging and presence functionality with support for SMS, MMS and presence enhanced instant messaging, as well as an e-mail client supporting POP3/IMAP4/SMTP protocols. Additionally, the 6280 also offers Nokia's Xpress audio messaging as well as support for Push-To-Talk, and further on the note of audio integrates a stereo FM radio with support for Visual Radio and also a music player with stereo audio.
For shorter range connectivity, the Nokia 6280 integrates Bluetooth, Infrared and also USB 2.0 via Nokia's proprietary Pop-port interface, all of which enable synchronization with the Nokia PC Suite.
Measuring in at 115 g and 100 x 46 x 21 mm, the 6280 offers a claimed talk time of up to 3 hours and up to 250 hours when on GSM; up to 2.5 hours and up 200 hours, respectively, when on WCDMA.
Now shipping in European markets, the Nokia 6280 will sell at an estimated retail price of €375 EUR before subsidies or taxes.
